Picture of Ford Edge with Roof Rack using Thule 897XT Hullavator Kayak Rack on Thule 450 Crossroads base system.

 The Thule 897 Hullavator kayak rack looks right at home attached to the Thule 450 Crossroads base car rack sytem which attaches to the factory roof rails on top of this Ford Edge.

Q: I’m in the market for a cargo carrier to haul luggage, camping equipment and gear. I do need some kind of 2008 Ford Edge roof rack system first that I can then mount a roof box to correct? The cargo box style of luggage carrier is what I’m interested in.

A: The Thule 400XT Aero, Inno INSU and Yakima Q Tower multi-purpose base rack systems will all work great as 2008 Ford Edge roof racks. All attach directly to your vehicle’s smooth rooftop that currently has no factory rack, factory side rails, rain gutters etc. All of these options provide a sturdy base rack system capable of safely transporting all kinds of gear. You can then attach any Yakima, Thule or Inno cargo roof boxes to the base rack system crossbars.
